1 bedroom attached guesthouse

Our home was originally built in the 1930s. The previous owners lived here until we purchased it in 2016. In the ’90s, her grandkids added onto the house and put up a wall to create a small one-bedroom unit for her to live in and they stayed in the rest of the house while caring for her. When we bought the house, we made some light updates, and we feel really lucky to now be able to share this small space with guests visiting Santa Cruz County.

A winding concrete path leads through a well-maintained green lawn bordered by flowering plants. Tall trees stand in the background, framing the entrance to the beach, where a glimpse of the ocean can be seen in the distance.
